This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the

HISTORY 6
CALENDAR OF COUNCIL iMLXUTES 1668-1783
PREFACE
This calendar covering the executive minutes of the New York colonial
council from 1668-1783, was prepared by Mr Berthold Fernow, keeper
of historical records, shortly before his resignation Ap. i, 1889, and was
intended to form with other calendars an additional volume of the series
of Documents relative to the colonial history of the state of New York,
Numbering of volumes. No minutes exist for the period directly
following the surrender of New Netherland to the English, Aug. 59, 1664,
the earliest being those of the council convened by Gov. Francis Lovelace,
Sep. 2, 1668. Many of the executive acts of Gov. Richard Nicolls's
administration are to be found in " General entries 1664-65 *' and ** Court
of assize, 1665-72," which volumes were for that reason listed by John
Van Ness Yates in his Report of the secretary of statt: relative to the records^
etc. in his office^ 1820, as i and 2 of a set of 2iZ volumes of colonial council
minutes and general entries, while the first volume of regular council minutes
1668-78 was marked 3. This volume consists of two parts; the first end-
ingjuly II, 1673, and the second beginning Oct 31, 1674. Minutes for
the intervening period of Dutch control are found in ** New York colonial
mss ", 23: 1-270 and have been translated and printed as " Minutes of
^council of the administrations of commanders Evertsen and Eenckes and
of Anthony Colve, governor of New Netherland, 1673 and 1674", in
Documents relative to the colonial history of the state of New York , 2 : 569-
730. Toward the end of the second part of the volume another interruption
in the minutes occurs from Nov. 10, 1677-Aug. 17, 1678, including the
period of Gov. Edmund Andros^s visit to England and the temporary
administration of Capt. Anthony Brockholls. Minutes for this period
may be found in ** New York colonial mss ", vol. 26-27.
A volume of ** General entries 1671-74 " having been marked 4, the
next volume of council minutes, covering the years 1683-88 is marked 5,

leaving a gap from 1678 to 1683; part of the minutes for that period,
up to November 1680, may be found in "New York colonial mss"
vol. 29, while other executive acts are recorded in " General entries 1678-
80," vol. 32, and ** Entries 1682-83," vol. 33. A gap in the council minutes
occurs again between vol. 5, breaking off with the last council under Gov.
Thomas Dongan Aug. 2, 1688, and vol. 6 beginning with the first council
under Gov. Henry Sloughter, Mar. 19, 1691. For the first year of this
period, when New York was united with New England under Gov.
Sir Edmund Andros, no regular proceedings are among the New
York archives, but for the years 1689-91, covering the administration
of Jacob Leisler, a full record of commissions, appointments, orders,
accounts, etc. with numerous letters are found in vol. ^6 of " New York
colonial mss.*' After vol. 6 the minutes form one uninterrupted series
till Mar. 11, 1776. A few pages of minutes of the councils of Gov. James
Robertson and Lt.-gov. Andrew Elliott from Mar. 23, 1780-Nov. 19, 1783,
held at New York city then in the hands of the British are also recorded.
Legislative minutes. Beginning with the first regular colonial legis-
lature, convened in 1691 by Gov. Sloughter, the council became a legislative
body, coordinate with the assembly. Its legislative minutes have been
printed as the Journal of the legislative council 0/ the colony 0/ New York
begun the gth day ofAp, i6gi and ended the jd day of Ap. 177s ^ - v. Alb.
1 86 1, and for that reason are not entered in this calendar.
In vol. 6-8, executive and legislative minutes are kept separate, the
latter at the end of each volume. Vol. 6 contains also the minutes of
the council in its judicial capacity 1687-88, and vol. 7, proceedings of
the court of oyer and terminer, 1679-85. In vol. 9-17, 1702-36, the
two functions were mingled and the minutes printed as legislative have
been marked by a pen or pencil line in the margin. Vol. 18, 20, 22, 24,
27, 28 and 30 contain only legislative minutes and were printed entire-
as also some minutes of 1775-76, found in vol. 26.
Of the greater part of these minutes the state library has two and in
some cases even three copies. The first and most complete set described
above and used for the compilation of this calendar, consists of engrossed
minutes except vol. 9-1 1, which are made up of blank books of rough
copies. The second set, covering with some interruptions the years
1709-76, consists entirely of blank books from which a few minutes not
found in the bound volumes of engrossed minutes have been inserted in
the calendar. The third set containing the original drafts of the pro-
ceedings of 1754-75 are in the form of loose sheets.

NEW YORK STATE LIBRARY
COLONIAL GOVERNORS 1664-1783
In the followiiiK Hst of colonial governors dates represent, as nearly as
could be ascertained from manuscript sources, the actual beginning of each
administration, i. e. the first official act of a newly appointed governor. For
a temporary administration the date of the governor's departure has been
chosen in preference to that of the appointment or the oath of office in
council of his lieutenant. Beginning with Sir Danvers Osborne, 10 Oct.
1753. all dates are given according to new style; for preceding dales, old
style has been used in conformity with the records. Indiscriminate use of
old style and new style dates in Civil list of Nctv York, AVxt' York legislative
manual and Harper s book of facts will account for most of the discrepancies.
The list of members of the council printed below, is taken from Civil list
of the colony and state of Netv York, Alb. 1889, p. 363-64.

It has been impossible in many cases to identify persons because of iBCon -
sisieneies iii spelling, irregularity in use of "van," 'sr' and 'jr' and omission of
other designations. If there are few references to the same form of name
they are grouped together, though referring to more than one person, unlesi
the text furnishes some means of distinction. The same method is followed
for names under which there is a large number of entries when many can
not be certainly identified. In< cases of different spellings of what might be
the same name, if the identity seemed certain, entries have been made under
one form with references from other forms; if uncertain, entries are made
under the different forms, with cross references. As it is quite unlikely that
all such cases have been recogniied, it will be well to have at hand all pos-
sible variants of a name one wishes to find. Where surname alone or with
a distinguishing title is given the person may be identical with one entered
later under full name.
The superior figures tell the exact place on the page in ninths; e. g. 558^
means page 558 beginning in the third ninth of the page, i. e. about one
third of the way down.
